 This week, I stood with Assembly Speaker John Pérez and Senate President pro Tem Darrell Steinberg to introduce the California Homeowners Bill of Rights, which will bring fairness and transparency to mortgages in our state.
Today, I’m writing to ask your help with this work.Powerful special interests will oppose closing the mortgage loopholes that hurt homeowners. We need your help to get this bill to the governor’s desk. We have all seen the results of a mortgage process that is stacked against the homeowner. From Stockton to Boyle Heights, from San Bernardino to Sacramento, our families and communities are suffering from a foreclosure crisis. We need a mass movement to make calls, write letters, and mobilize Californians on their behalf. Last month, we extracted an $18 billion commitment from the banks for California. That was a life preserver for underwater homeowners. Now we must fundamentally reform our broken mortgage system. Join our movement for mortgage reform. Then, ask 5 friends to do so, too. The Homeowners Bill of Rights restricts the insidious practice of “dual tracking,” under which homeowners are seeking a loan modification from their bank — and get foreclosed upon anyway. It requires lenders to offer homeowners a single point of contact for questions about their mortgage, and imposes fines of up to $10,000 for “robo-signing.” This work won’t be easy, but it will benefit families across the state. Please raise your voice on their behalf. Sign on as a Co-Sponsor of the Homeowners Bill of Rights. Standing with you, Kamala D. Harris, 32nd Attorney General of California

I’ve just finished reading the National Mortgage Settlement complaint, a work product of States Attorney Generals. What was agreed to is galaxies away from any reasonable justice and confounds me on how ANY officer of the law could compromise to the scope and size of this on going crime. I have contemptable suspicion of AG (aspiring Govenor) Harris wearing the gown of champion of the home owner of her state while taking sizable campaign contributions from BofA, worst of the worst offenders of bank mortgage and foreclosure fraud while her family members in DC work for the Banks behind our backs.
